Is laser hair removal safe for the face like sideburn hair etc? Has anyone ever done their face and had problems?

It is safe for it but I would recommend going somewhere where the people are trained properly and have certificates. You seem to be light-medium with darker hair which makes you a great candidate for laser as the laser will pick up just the hair follicles.

I personally wouldn't.
the process itself can sometimes be painful, you need to do more than one session, it's ridiculously expensive, & if I remember correctly, it leaves basically a sunburn for the next couple of days after treatment.
honestly tho, it's really up to you. just do some research & decide for yourself c:

For me laser worked well in legs and arms but I didn't get good results when I used it on the face, for me it worked IPL and it's less uncomfortable.

Laser hair removal is absolutely safe provided you get it from a certified dermat who has a license and the laser machine itself is FDA approved. it does not leave any sunburn because my roomie got it done a year ago and they have a pain free version too, a bit expensive than the original laser process but so worth it. After the initial 6 sessions the roomie's facial hair shed and in the next 6 minths she just had to get 3 maintenance sessions and 4 months later, she's hair free and safe. The only thing you should be careful about is personal hygiene and a good dermatologist you can trust.

Laser hair removal is more for your body. Electrolysis is for the face
